Step 4. Accept previously applied APAR or PTF (optional)

If there is any APAR or PTF which you applied earlier but did not accept, and the earlier APAR or PTF is not causing problems in your installation, accept the applied service from either the SMP/E dialogs in ISPF, or using a batch job similar to EQAWACPT in hlq.SEQASAMP.

Accepting the earlier service allows you to use the SMP/E RESTORE command to return to your current level if you encounter a problem with the service you are currently applying. You can do this either from the SMP/E dialogs in ISPF, or using a batch job.
